Positive features:
This unit recordings to an external 250GB hard drive (2.5 "Verbatim) were immediately without any problems. The image is perfect, I can hardly see differences between the built-in DVB-S2 Tuner my Sony W5820 and the Comag.
The power consumption should be low and the device displays in standby time on my Panasonic Recorder stingy in power saving mode even so.
Negative characteristics:
The remote is very small for the amount of keys and these are difficult to see with dimmed lights.
The EPG shows something on (slow construction), but also remains often empty (ER and private).
During the recordings, only the station name, in addition to the date and time, stored and not the title to you just by EPG, if it works once selected.
Conclusion:
Who wants to have a good HD image gets it with this receiver but must make compromises in comfort.
The customer service responds quickly and is even accessible with a normal landline number, a current firmware (E100) was delivered immediately via email. Too bad that so that the EPG issue is not resolved, this should happen in the next few weeks. The storage of the title in the recordings should have been times available in a previous firmware versions and was expanded for licensing reasons.
